Zizek said Melville's Bartleby is a truer rebel against wage slavery and capitalism than Camus's Sisyphus is
>Contemporary 21st Century """philosopher"""Philosophy is fucking dead.
Maybe. Idk. I cant fuckin understand anything this guy says. He sounds like he is talking with a mouthful of listerene. It is very fucking gross and off putting, and made me believe I should never read any words he wrote down. I feel this has been the correct decision.
>>25227916It really is just Zizek and Peterstein these days. Sad state of affairs really.
>>25227969He is an anti-communist so you are probably better off not wasting a single second on his dribble
>>25227978He praises Lenin as a beacon of hope for leftists needing a hero to emulate, although his politics are CIA-adjacent
Melville > Camus in general, so yeah, he's probably onto something.
>UMMM... Camus BAD!I'm sick of post-2016 election trad LARPING on 4chan.
>>25228116existentialism has always been babby's first phil for halfwits. especially the frenchies.
>>25228130Existentialism is that, but then it loops back around to being the only philosophy that isn't cope
>>25228135Existentialism is just complacency and avoiding the obvious questions
>>25227897It's true because capitalism is an omnivore that feeds off of any source of energy it can findThat's about the full extent of it
>>25228130Existentialism is the only philosophy that matters.
>>25228142Like what?The Myth of Sisyphus begins by saying that the only relevant question is whether or not to kill one's self, because it leads to all the others.
>>25227897this is why I watch twitch streams and shitpost on the internet
Why does existentialism anger pseuds on /lit/ so much?
>>25228158This shithole got absolutely inundated with right wing trad larping morons years ago and anything that isn't traditional Christian morality utterly BTFOs the fuck out of them so much so that their red little neo clitties begin to leak profusely.
>>25228170Existentialism is built on Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky lil smol brain buddy
>>25228158Existentialism is the most pop culture philosophy that midwits namedrop and is used primarily to avert entertaining the possibility that the world could be other than what it is
>>25228179Nah. You're coping right now.
commies still fuming over the split between camus and sartre lmao
>>25228183>NOOOOOO, GOD IS NOT DEAD!! HE'S NOT!!! HE'S NOT!!! HE'S NOOOT!!!! REEEEEEE!!!Boohoo, Jew.
>>25227897>all art is heckin political these people have literal brain worms
>>25228193you can't fault them for being on lvl 1
>>25228192God being dead doesn't therefore mean existentialism is coherent.
>>25228193Nigh every dipshit on 4chan thinks every single aspect of existence is inherently political in nature.This is the world we live in now.
>>25228193>wage slavery has zero bearing on why life is the way it isThis is at the root of existentialism. Dostoevsky discovered it during his time in hard labor when he said labor itself does not crush a man's soul, he can endure endless suffering. But when his labor and suffering no longer have any meaning to him, when he is laboring and suffering meaninglessly, then his soul is crushed so much it can drive him insane
"existentialism" is a meaningless buzzword co-opted by youtube essayists to arbitrarily explain why their vidya or anime slop is actually high artreal existentialism is much better, but redundant to most who have already read neo platonics, german idealists, russian symbolists, etc
>>25228236You are fighting buzzwords with buzzwords bro
>existentialism is... LE BUZZWORD!!Somebody has never suffered an existential crisis and it shows. Dumb zoomie alphoid.
>>25228316A lot of what are called existential crises come down to crushing labor alienation
>>25228321>Ummm... le communism!Shut up.
>>25228323Everything wrong and evil about this world can be laid at the doorstep of Capitalism.
>>25228330Fuck you. I Awoo. Always. And when the day of the rope comes, you will wish you had loyalty
>>25228330AVM capitalism AVM capitalism AVM capitalism AVM
>>25228330Evil in the service of good is always justified. This is pragmatism which idealist leftists never seem to grasp
>>25228330>>25228342>>25228343>>25228355Quit responding to your own posts, schizophrenic.
>>25228193>I'm retarded
>>25228359>t. communist crawfish
>>25228369>You caught me! Y-you're a GOMMBUNIST!
>>25228205Capitalism isn't invading every facet of existence? Isn't every single social relationship becoming economic and transactional, even basic friendship in the form of "networking"? Shouldn't you be blaming capitalism for this phenomenon instead of Marxism for noticing it?
